James Peyton - "Wikis, writing and
accountability: An Economics example"
Wikis are one of the new Web-based technologies that
enable collaborative writing. But do they live up to their promise for
academic work? In this brown bag, we'll take a look at wikis that are
annotated bibliographies produced by a hybrid Economics class. Students use
the bibliographies in writing essays, and then evaluate the wikis for how
useful they were. We'll talk about improving the writing and increasing the
accountability students have for the product. Come with your ideas and take
away other ideas on using wikis in your own classes.

Ellen Hofmann - "Writing a Fulbright Grant"
Discussion will be led by Ellen Hofmann, a two time Fulbright winner and
one time NEH winner. She will talk about the many rich opportunities
available through granting agencies such as Fulbright, NEH, and NSF. She
will offer her experience with writing successful grant applications and
her observations on why grants succeed or fail. Bring your academic
interests and questions for a lively discussion.
Co-sponsored with the Faculty Resource Center, Brown Bags are
informal discussions sessions around a topic. They are presented
every quarter on topics suggested by faculty.
Brown Bags meet in the Faculty Resource Center
on the 6th floor of the Library (Building 25). And yes, you should
bring your lunch!

Retention Committee - Best Practices for Retaining Students
The members of the Retention Committee will facilitate an
idea-sharing session in which participants both describe their own most
successful practices and hear others do the same. Participants should
come away with some specific and workable strategies for keeping
students enrolled in their classes without overhauling the entire
course. The emphasis will be on the practical.
